 I was not shield tanking a mega. My standard loadout for solo gankage is something like this.
3x electron, 4x ion, 1x thermal L SB (that's for getting the pod)
1x cap recharger, 1x webber, 1x scrambler, 1x MWD
1x thermal armor hardener, 1x kinetic armor hardener, 1x L repair, bunch of relays.
wasps in the hold.
The problem with solo hunting in a megathron is that there is not enough maneuverability and speed to get up close to your target unless that target is in a BS as well, then you have a fighting chance. Otherwise, if you land anywhere above 20k from the guy, chances are he is going to warp out before you get to him. So BS are good for gate camping primarily. I try to belt hop in a balsterax, too bad mine was blown up the other day.

instead of approaching target.....
you say you got a range of 2.5 km.
try right click and orbit at 2.5 km.
you approach to your optimal and then orbit so you would have been good with the guns.

I know dude, I learned that lesson after that encounter. Was the first time that I did not freeze in a fight. Though it did not help, I think in the next encounter I will have better reaction to a situation.
Thank you all for your kind responses to my stupidity, and to my writing. More to come once I do something stupid. Rest assured, it will not be too far in the future.

Sorry i took paragraph 6 out of context then.
I took SB as sheild booster not sensor booster  mainly cos right after that you said you watched your cap disapearing 
But anyway, i think bs's are fine for hunting belts. At the end of the day i don't really get any thrill of killing someone in a criser or frigate. Plain and simply, i only really hunt for bs's. If i manage to find a cruiser and keep there to kill him, so be it. Same for a frigate. So the way i see it, if i go out looking for bs's and i miss the other guys, i haven't really lost anything. Cos low and behold, you go out in a cruiser to catch other cruisers/frigates and bs will be there to rip you to bits :P
Just my own view of things of course, and i seem to do alright for kills 
Yumenti > anyone wanna buy a zydrine
Kayla Red > heh. just 1?
Yumenti > thats all i got from reprocess
Yumenti > darn, this sux
Yumenti > 134mil for a gellente industrial skill book |

Yarr Markol. :)
Got to say this, Markol is no slouch, and his balls get him into more trouble than most. :)

infact i am at work too, offshore and am bored...i thought id give our side of events...apologies if it isnt as "informative or funny" as markols but am tellin it how it was for us.
To set the scene we were all rallied (drunk) as i mentioned before, we had been speaking through a chat program telling jokes and whatnot.
So there were in the belt, minthreat was mining away, karatekid doing the same and i was flying about trying to dodge the space aliens who were lurking behind the roids..all had gone strangely quiet...had they passed out? the quiet before the storm perhaps? then suddenly karatekids mic *****eld into life..
"rat in system, rat in system" immediatly i removed my finger from my nose and sat up alert, searching local for this rat...after all i was the "protection" i thought to myself im not that experienced in pvp...fat lot of use ill be as protection ill be like a condom on the end of a pencil going into an electric sharpener...be torn to bits.
At this point minthreat must have heard the commotion and managed to peel his head off the keyboard which had stuck to him with his slavers..(he drools when he sleeps...he murmurs who what where?...just then...i kid you not it was just then it all began to happen...things started to look ominous...i did indeed desperatly need a pee. Off to the loo it was.
I returned to see a megathron warp in...all red highlighted and stuff...i think. So anyways the troops call in with "locking on" and i myself lock on...at this i hear a horrendous squeal over the mic...it was karatekid giggling with excitment..kinda cute really...i heard he has done that ever since he was a little girl.
The megathron approached me as i began to fire...i opened up all eight hi slots on him...i fired volley after volley...his drones were soon upon me but just as quick seemed to spontaneously combust...poor little buggers shame to see them caught up in this mess. So i send little steve out get them...steve is my pet ogre...off he went like a bulldog with a hot poker up its behind.
Meanwhile karatekid and minthreat were firing as fast as they could pounding markol from all sides as i *****ed him time and again from the front. I cant speak for the others but my heart was racing the sweat was running down my cheek and soon there was a fully fledged river running down my back and into the gap of my posterior.
His shields went down, and i was managing to soak up all his fire with my shields. I heard whails of joy over the mic as minthreat and karatekid could see this rat was on his way to the afterlife..or at least his ship was. Soon enough the white light appeared...with a flash of minthreats torpedoes and his ship exploding into 10341 particles it was over...to be honest i didnt see his pod warp out...the blinding light was too much for me.
It was good of the guy to speak to us afterwards...i guess we had numbers on our side and the element of surprise in that he didnt know i was there...ah well nevermind...it was good fun. |

Hey man, great effort and thread, i've seen people do 5x more embarrassing stuff in my few months' experience, and they would rather sink through the ground and disappear from all of the internet than post it on eve forums. props to you.
